Proxies - Red Clay - Non-Alcoholic Wine Proxy

nice complex flavor! Not overpoweringly juicy and not too sweet or flat. I’m not a huge fan of the chili note at the end, kind of an out-of-sync dash of heartburn for me. I like chili in a margarita but it’s not the flavor I’m looking for in a wine-adjacent situation

Will have to give this another try with a different meal. It tasted to much like a sachet of potpourri. After all the great reviews, I will definitely try the second bottle with a different food pairing. Nonetheless, fun to experiment and explore all of these great wines!

This and many of the other proxies are an excellent replacement/alternative to wine. My wife and I prefer them to just about any non-alcohol wine. We used to be in the wine business, and miss the complex nuances of fine wine, which are lost in NA wine. Proxies, such as this one, provide complex nuances of their own, that we have come to enjoy and appreciate.

This smells immediately like berries. It tastes like fruity/juicy, with a bit of tartness at the end. It has a nice flavor, but personally I preferred the Red Ember variety, which has a little more complexity and dryness similar to "real" wine. But if you like fruitier wines, you'd probably like this!

Good versatile red. Pairs well with food.
